Systems and methods for providing a user interface

Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for providing a user with a convenient and intuitive user interface for performing tasks within projects, wherein the tasks may be related to content objects; for organizing content objects within projects, between projects, and with respect to one another; and for organizing projects with respect to one another.

1 . A method for allowing a user to interact with one or more resources of a computer system, comprising:
 providing a tower-based visual representation of a plurality of workspaces disposed in apparent physical adjacency to each other;   disposing at least two of the workspaces vertically in the visual representation; and   presenting at least one of the workspaces to the user in a 3D visualization to resemble a physical room.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein upon a shift of the viewpoint of a user of the visual representation, the user is presented with a continuous perceptual representation of the workspaces. 
   
   
       3 . A method for allowing a user to interact with one or more resources of a computer system, comprising:
 providing a workspace in which a user can interact with one or more content objects; and   enforcing an action grammar for actions associated with the workspace, whereby movement of content objects within the workspace occurs only in response to a user action.   
   
   
       4 . A method for allowing a user to interact with one or more resources of a computer system, comprising:
 enabling a change of viewpoint within the visual representation of a plurality of workspaces; and   presenting the change in viewpoint from one workspace to another workspace to the user in a manner that corresponds to the view a user would experience if the user were to make a movement in the physical world.
